Maha

Highly-acclaimed Melbourne chef, Shane Delia, is bringing a contemporary Mediterranean dining experience to Soul Bar & Bistro

Since opening its doors in 2008, the contemporary Middle Eastern restaurant, Maha Restaurant quickly became one of the most highly acclaimed and reputable restaurants in Melbourne. From after just one year of operations, the chef and owner, Shane Delia was awarded One Chefs Hat in The Age Good Food Guide annually for ten years and the celebrated gastronomist is bringing his crafts to Auckland’s iconic Soul Bar & Bistro for one night only this August.

Chef Delia’s other work comprises of two more notable restaurants — Biggie Smalls and the recently opened Maha East, all showcasing Delia’s modern and cutting-edge culinary skills, as well as hosting his own television shows such as Spice Journey and Recipe For Life. Being able to experience and taste the food created by the celebrity chef and cookbook author is not a regular occurrence and his Soul Bar & Bistro takeover is not to be missed.
